LS4.C Adaptation

Using statistical evidence and probability to explain the
variation, distribution, and expression of traits over time in a
population.
Providing evidence of the factors that drive this process, and
how natural selection and changing environments lead to the
adaptation, emergence, and extinction of populations.
